IAF Successfully Struck Key Radar at PAF Shahbaz Airbase
Recent developments confirm that the Indian Air Force (IAF) successfully struck key infrastructure at the Pakistan Air Force’s (PAF) Shahbaz Airbase during Operation Sindoor in May 2025. The IAF targeted the RAC 3D Radar, a vital part of the PAF’s Spada 2000 air defense system, and the power supply center, resulting in significant degradation of Pakistan’s air defense capabilities and operational tempo. The strikes, executed with advanced precision munitions, not only destroyed critical surveillance and power infrastructure but also compromised the operational readiness of two F-16 squadrons stationed at the airbase. Post-strike assessments revealed extensive damage, including craters and structural collapses, contradicting initial claims from Pakistani officials regarding minimal impacts. The operation underscored the effectiveness of the IAF’s Integrated Air Command and Control System (IACCS) and its capability to conduct precise strikes, significantly altering the balance of air power in the region. The successful execution of such operations reflects India’s commitment to maintaining strategic superiority and responding decisively to security threats, ensuring that its defense infrastructure and capabilities remain robust against regional adversaries. The operation’s implications stress the importance of advanced military technologies and the ability to neutralize threats before they escalate.
